I don’t even know what to say. It was just so unexpected. I was in a hotel room in missoula, and I had to call my mother from my phone to tell her I was leaving, and then when I got to the airport, I was told I had to wait for a flight to seattle.
Missoula is about a 30-minute drive to Seattle, which is an 11-hour flight, and that’s not a small task. I’m glad I had my Mom call and let me know I had to wait (even though I didn’t know I had to do that until I got to the airport).
I had thought that my mother would have been so excited to hear that I was about to visit my brother, but instead my mother took me to the airport to tell me that I had to wait for a flight to seattle. I guess she didnt know that I was just going to miss her for a couple of days. She wasnt even mad at me when we got there. But at least she was there to get me something to eat.
I was never actually one hundred percent sure why she was there. I can pretty much understand why she was there. It was the first time she and my brother had seen each other in over a decade. And she had been gone for so long that I felt like I was missing a piece of it. But she was still there, and I could still talk to her.
And as it turned out, she was indeed there to get me something to eat. It was a small, but not tiny, food truck. I could tell she was genuinely excited to get me something to eat. But it was the only time I ever heard her say, “I missed you.
When she saw me, she said, “I’m not going to ask you for money.” And it was true. She didn’t ask me for anything. She just wanted to see me. I knew that. But there was something else there, too. She had seen me. She was actually there to see me.
I can’t get over the fact that this is the first time I’ve seen her smile. She’s such an awesome person, and she has such a huge smile. I am totally going to miss seeing her.
Its hard for her to smile when she is sad. I have no idea why. She is so sweet, and I dont know if its because shes smiling at me or if its because shes sad. Either way, I dont know how to describe it. I am just going to be glad when we are apart.
So while I can’t say she’s like a sister, I can say she has that sisterly love that sisterly love cannot be expressed and that sisterly love is the best thing there is.
This is the same woman who came to the opening for the opening act of the musical Hairspray.
